Introduction
There will be a decent batch of people who will say "Water thread", as in this thread basically contains already-known knowledge, but I am making this guide for the following reasons.
- A lot of people are taking a lot of peptides, and growth hormone agonists (boosters) while missing out on fundamental things.
- For newcomers to see this when they arrive on this forum.
- To ingrain in the minds of the current and future members that stacking GH boosters and protein hyper-dosing is LAW!
- To create an all-rounded, easy to understand heightmaxing protocol.
- My last one sucked
-> https://looksmax.org/threads/height...-secret-stack-rivals-pharma-grade-hgh.506727/
So, I thought it would be a good idea to compile the information in one place for people to see. I can guarantee you that you'll "grow" at least 1.5 inches (3.8cm) after reading this, and yes, I am recycling a lot of work from my last thread: https://looksmax.org/threads/why-pr...-as-hgh-to-getting-taller-if-not-more.551579/
Read this with some music
Human Growth Hormone
A hormone can be thought of as a messenger. In this case, Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is a hormone and one of its functions is that it messages the body to produce a protein called IGF-1 (Insulin-like growth factor 1). One of the effects of this protein is that it causes your bones to elongate, which in turn, makes you taller.
(Estimated Visual Representation of the HGH molecule)
Of course, you're always secreting HGH throughout your lifetime, especially during puberty but what we need to understand is this. Singlehandedly injecting/consuming growth hormone agonists (boosters) like...
- MK-677
- CJC-1295
- Hexarelin
- GHRP-2
- GHRP-6
- HGH
- High Intensity Exercise (HIIT)
- Exercise in general
- Sleeping, etc.
Protein
Proteins (more specifically amino acids) are the building blocks of life. What we need to understand here is that proteins are made of amino acids (think of it as the equivalent to construction materials). When you consume protein, your body breaks them down into amino acids and stores them for use (your body's construction materials). When the body needs to build a protein, it gets the stored amino acids (construction materials) and builds it.
If you are low on protein (protein deficiency), your body's ability to build things will LITERALLY be hindered! From hair follicles, to nails, to new layers of skin, to anti-bodies and even your HEIGHT, your body will literally NOT be able to build these new cells at a sufficient scale. Think of this as a factory that has had its production capacity hindered. If you are deficient in protein, HGH's ability to work will be stunted as even though it's demanding the body to focus on producing IGF-1, the body just doesn't have a lot of construction materials to build the protein at a large enough scale, hindering the effectiveness of IGF-1 production.
(Don't get me wrong, your growth rate will still be accelerated, but probably at useless levels if you're low on protein)
(Your body's factory production capacity when you're low on protein. It CAN'T produce IGF-1 at scale, even though HGH is basically pressuring it and blackmailing it to produce HGH)
(Your body's factory production capacity when you have ample or excess protein. It CAN produce IGF-1 in massive quantities, amplified by HGH)
So, if you're bombarding your system with growth hormone boosters, and you're neglecting your protein intake, you'll come back saying
"Oh, [INSERT GROWTH HORMONE BOOSTER HERE] doesn't work!"
If you don't have the necessary amount of protein, it really is the equivalent of hiring 20,000,000 construction workers (HGH) to build a taller house (your bones) with only 25kg of construction material (your lack of protein consumption).
"Bruh, we're getting pressured and blackmailed to produce IGF-1 by this hormone called HGH, but this dude doesn't even provide us with construction material (protein). We literally can't build this shit. I guess he wants to be a short manlet for life then JFL. Let me use all of the teeny amount of construction material that is provided here and leave."
As you can see, in this analogy, we NEED to make sure we purchase (consume) more materials (protein) to build this house (longer bones). If we don't, we'll use up the materials to make very, very little progress. So, we need to make sure we not only make sure we hire as much workers as possible (HGH) but we also need to make sure we have as many materials as possible (protein). Without either of them (especially protein), we're stunting out capacity to get taller.
You can get taller by protein hyper-dosing alone really, as you always have HGH in your body, but protein depends on your diet. @Prettyboy said he grew approx. 2 inches (5.1cm) from this.
"Random beach in the Philippines, just because this section was getting dull"
So, the formula to know how much protein you need to sustain yourself is as follows:
- Weight in kg * 0.8 = Satisfactory protein intake (in grams).
- Weight in kg * (anywhere from 2 to 4) = Height increasing protein intake (in grams).
Of course, you're going to want to use a calorie tracking app to make sure you're on target, I recommend the Cronometer app because it shows all of the amino acids you're consuming, and the IGF protein is made of these amino acids. I ran the numbers myself and found this...
- Lysine: 10.26%
- Serine: 8.72%
- Glycine: 8.21%
- Arginine: 8.21%
- Leucine: 7.69%
- Threonine: 7.18%
- Alanine: 6.15%
- Cysteine: 5.64%
- Proline: 5.64%
- Glutamic acid: 5.13%
- Glutamine: 5.13%
- Phenylalanine: 4.62%
- Aspartic acid: 3.08%
- Methionine: 2.56%
- Valine: 2.56%
- Tyrosine: 2.56%
- Histidine: 2.05%
- Isoleucine: 2.05%
- Asparagine: 2.05%
- Tryptophan: 0.51%
On the app, Cronometer will show you this, you want to make sure the most important amino acids are as maxed out as possible, and your general protein intake as well. It only shows about 12 though.
Aromatase Inhibitors
Aromatase, or estrogen synthase is an enzyme in your body that synthesizes estrogen. Here is the problem with estrogen though. Estrogen makes your growth plates close quicker. This is a scientific fact, and probably a reason why women have shorter growth windows than men. The lower your estrogen levels are, the more time you have to grow. So, what we are going to need to do is consume things that will decrease our estrogen levels as much as possible so we can have a longer window of heightmaxing, because it is ideal of course.
Things to avoid that make you estrogenic
- Soy products
- Being fat
- And these...
Studies that show that lower estrogen delays growth plate closure
-
Height Increment and Laboratory Profile of Boys Treated With Aromatase Inhibitors With or Without Growth Hormone - PubMed
Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) have been used to recover height loss due to their capacity to delay growth plate closure. Long-term studies describing final heights are needed to determine the efficacy and safety profiles of these drugs for the treatment of impaired growth. This study aims to...

-
Update on the role of aromatase inhibitors in growth disorders - PubMed
Until the safety profile of aromatase inhibitors, particularly their qualitative effects on bone development, is established, use of these agents must be considered experimental in treating short stature.

The aromatase inhibitor letrozole increases epiphyseal growth plate height and tibial length in peripubertal male mice - PubMed
Sex hormones may influence longitudinal growth, either indirectly, by affecting the growth-hormone-insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) axis, or directly, by affecting changes within the epiphyseal growth plate (EGP). The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of letrozole, an...

On average, the legs close around ages 17-19 and the spine closes around the ages of 23-25.
Spine growth plates (the information is so hard to come by because it's so understudied but here is what I found)

Baby spine growth, from bendy cartilage to strong bone as an adult.
How does babies spines grow? Where does their spine come from, are babies born with a fully developed spinal column, how are babies so flexible?

Persistence of vertebral growth plate cartilage in aged cynomolgus monkeys
Growth plates at each end of vertebral bodies play a pivotal role in longitudinal spinal growth. Epiphyseal closures are formed in adult humans. Although monkeys are frequently employed in bone and disc research, the age of epiphyseal closure has not ...
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Although what the internet tells you that growth ends "around 18" or "the end of puberty", the real matter is that...
- Different growth plates close at different times, due to different factors.
- Growth plate closure is not very well studied
- Most people are protein deficient
- HGH levels aren't at puberty levels after puberty.
If you want to get your growth plates X-rayed, you can go see a doctor and get the X-ray. at the ends of each bone, the denser, more separated it looks from the other bones and whiter the bone ends are, the more open the growth plate.
Now of course, I am not saying you're guaranteed to grow to 6ft/180cm with this no matter your height but if you're below 23-25 and you increase your HGH levels and take a lot of protein, I am fairly confident you'll see at least some improvements.
IGF-1
This is an alternative to people who can't get a lot of protein for some reason. IGF-1 is the finished product, so it doesn't require you to optimize GH and protein. The best form of IGF-1 is IGF-1 LR3. Avoid taking other forms of this, as they are not as effective.
You'll want to inject once every two days, as this has a half-life of 20-30 hours. You can experiment with once a day if you wish.
Alternate Methods
Here are ways you can appear taller without messing with your biology
- Shoe Lifts
- Invisible Shoe Lifts (recommended)
- Longer Hair (growing upwards)
- Wearing One Color (Multiple colors create visual breaks, and make you look shorter as people are perceiving the height of each color)
- Fixing your posture (UNDERRATED)
- Stretching Consistently, Hanging, Yoga
- Wearing Shoes that make you seem taller, like AF1s, Chelsea Boots, etc.
- Getting leg lengthening surgery (painful and expensive), also consider proportions.
- Taking Relaxin (it's expensive), see this thread. Relaxin basically makes your pelvis and hip bones longer, may gave you wide hips though so...
- See this thread for more information -> https://looksmax.org/threads/i-grew-3-inches-on-relaxin-over-the-course-of-8-months.480204/
- Note
- Liver problems makes it harder to produce IGF-1
Glucosamine & Chondroitin
After you reach your desired height, you'll want to supplement with Glucosamine and Chondroitin daily, as this will prevent spine compression. Essentially, you'll keep your morning height intact 24/7 or you'll shrink a teeny bit. This is valuable especially at night when you're walking around with roughly your morning height while everyone is 1 inch (2.5cm) shorter.
